Box 4000, Bowmanville, L 1 C 3Z8 advising that the Ontario Power Generation's Pickering Nuclear and Durham Nuclear sites will be enhancing their existing radiation monitoring with an airborne survey during September and October. A low -flying helicopter will conduct the survey in a zone roughly 10 kilometers around each plant. This includes the east end of Toronto, and the southern portions of Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington. The survey will be conducted during daylight hours, starting mid - September, for approximately three weeks. The helicopter will fly a 100 -metre grid pattern and will use state of the art technology to give a thorough overview of the region. This survey, which is designed to detect sources of natural and man -made gamma radiation, will confirm that no gamma radiation has been introduced into the surrounding areas by operations for the plants. It will complement the current radiological monitoring program done by the stations; and will provide consistency across all three sites - a recommendation of the Nuclear Environmental Advisory Group.

(Receive for Information) Summary of Correspondence - 4 - September 27, 1999 1-12 R.H. Rakus, General Manager, Central Region, Enbridge Consumers Gas, 500 Elgin Mills Road East, Richmond Hill, L4C 5Gl, informing Council of the ongoing developments and changes at Enbridge Consumers Gas. Earlier this year, a letter was sent explaining that Enbridge Consumers Gas would be moving certain business activities from the regulated utility into the competitive marketplace. This "unbundling" of certain utility services is part of an ongoing transformation of energy markets in Ontario and abroad. In their previous letter, they informed us that products and services, such as retail appliance sales, financing and servicing, would be moved into the competitive marketplace. They have now received the necessary regulatory approvals for unbundling these competitive services. After October 1, 1999, Enbridge Consumers Gas will no longer offer retail services and programs such as HIP /HIP PLUS, the Retail Appliance stores, Home Improvement Market services and servicing of heating and other gas equipment. However, Mr. Rakus is pleased to inform the Municipality that these services will be offered by their competitive retail affiliate, Enbridge Home Services. He is also pleased to advise that we can continue to rely on Enbridge Consumers Gas for the safe, reliable and efficient delivery of natural gas to customers in t response pa it y and gas Orelat io and to continue to provide 24 hour emergency emergency. Enbridge Consumers Gas will continue to support its customers through the process of unbundling. They are implementing full transitional billing and contract provisions, so that their customers on existing contracts for home services and insurance programs will remain on these contracts with Enbridge Consumers Gas until they expire. They are also implementing information campaigns to ensure their customers know how to proceed when new contracts and services are required.

Mr. Trotman advises of the overwhelming response to the Concerts in Rotary Park this year.
